INT 221 - Building & Interior Systems I (3-0-3)
An introduction to, and overview of, large-scale systems used in and affecting the design of building interiors. The operation and impacts of heating, ventilating, and air conditioning equipment on building space and layout are emphasized. Additional topics include the design of plumbing and waste systems as they affect building planning and the design of related spaces (including kitchens and bathrooms) and the use and design requirements for vertical transportation in building interiors. Effective From: Fall 2009

INT 222 - Building and Interior Systems II (3-0-3)
Prerequisite: Phys 102. An introduction to, and overview of, small-scale systems used in and affecting the design of building interiors. The needs and scope of design potentials in electrical systems (including requirements for media installations) and lighting design as they are used in, affect the design of, interiors are emphasized. Also included is an introduction to building acoustics and how basic principles affect design layout and material and furniture selection for a variety of building and construction types. Effective From: Fall 2009

INT 263 - Introduction to Design for Interior Designers I (1-9-4)
Corequisite: AD 150. A hands-on studio based introduction to the basic principles and elements of design for interior designer students. Emphasis on design methods using multiple media, manipulating form and space. Course includes lectures, readings, and (primarily three-dimensional) design projects. Effective From: Fall 2009

INT 264 - Introduction to Design for Interior Designers II (1-9-4)
Prerequisites: INT 263. A continuation of Introduction to Design for Interior Designers I. A hands-on studio course that expands design problems into commercial interiors and public spaces. Interior design as a knowledge-based discipline is introduced. Emphasis is placed on the development of an iterative and reflective design process as well as the production and presentation of interior design proposals. The integration of multiple technical variables/requirements to be considered by the designer is introduced. Effective From: Fall 2009

INT 321 - Methods & Materials (3-0-3)
Prerequisites: AD 111, AD 112, AD 150 or Arch 334, AD 161, AD 162 and Arch 251. The study of materials, products, and assemblies used in interior design. The course covers code requirements and life safety, specification, installation, performance of materials (including fabrics and textiles), and sustainability of material selection and utilization. Also covered are the impacts of materials utilization on health and interior environmental quality. Effective From: Fall 2009

INT 350 - History of Furniture (3-0-3)
Prerequisite: AD 161 and AD 162 or equivalent; or Arch 251, 252 and 381. Survey course studying the history and characteristics of furniture design from antiquity to the present day. Study of social and design forces influencing furniture. Students will analyze furniture in terms of style, aesthetic intent, construction and materials, ergonomics, universal/barrier-free accessibility, sustainability, and technology. Major stylistic movements will be discussed. Effective From: Fall 2009
